Input volume too low on third party apps? (Macbook pro retina 2015)

I keep hearing from other people that my voice is too low unless I speak directly to my inline earphone mic.


The problem does not seem to be with the headset mic, because I can hear myself perfectly on video/audio recordings and when using the earphone with my headset to do calls.


The input volume seems to go much lower when I am doing video calls or audio calls on my macbook. Link to another discussion that seems to be of the same nature: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252278803?answerId=254582393022#254582393022
